The Dark Half

Come forth November, we welcome you
               Though cold an silent, one day all will be new 

               All life goes to sleep in a way 
               Our souls need peace, a time to give thanks and pray

               Reflections from our heart, of days long ago
               Reminds us of fireside chats, and the places we'd once go

               Dim light from the sun slows all that would grow 
               Preparing for winters fresh bedding of snow

               It's only the dark half the other sides bright
               Lets let out a laugh, and light our candles each night

               Till April your sister with showers of rain 
               Wakens our spirit, then we'll all dance again



                                                                     Nan
